Crispus BEATA from Trier with soldiers on shield
« on: June 14, 2016, 01:11:57 PM »
This coin is not in RIC for the long obverse legend and the bust type. The shield is engraved with a group of soldiers holding up shields and spears. It is listed in Die Römische Münzserie Beata Tranquillitas in der Prägestätte Trier 321-323 (RMBT) as # 190. The Not in RIC site has three examples already --
